If you are switching from another loyalty or points plugin, Simple Points & Rewards includes a built-in migration tool that imports your existing customer point balances and related data. The tool is available in the Points & Rewards admin area.
Supported Source Plugins #
The migration tool can import from the following plugins:
- Punkte und Belohnungen für WooCommerce by WP Swings
- WooCommerce Points and Rewards (the official Woo extension)
- WPLoyalty
- MyRewards by Long Watch Studio
- YITH WooCommerce Punkte und Belohnungen
What Gets Migrated #
Depending on the source plugin, the migration tool can import:
- Current points balance
- Total points earned (lifetime)
- Geburtstag (where stored)
- Referral code
- Account status (active / banned)
How to Run a Migration #
- Make sure the source plugin is still installed and active (the tool reads data directly from its tables/meta).
- Go to the migration tool in the Points & Rewards admin area.
- Select the source plugin you are migrating from.
- Start the migration. The tool processes customers in batches and logs its progress.
- Review the migration log for any skipped customers and the reasons given.
Important Notes #
- Back up your database before running any migration.
- Migrated point awards do nicht trigger the “points earned” email – customers won’t be spammed during the import.
- Run the migration on a staging site first if possible to verify the imported balances are correct.
- After confirming the migration succeeded, you can deactivate the old plugin.
- Migration is generally a one-time operation – running it again may re-apply or skip already-imported balances depending on the source.
